Finished Bears & Family

AJ and Kathy stopped in for a visit on their way back from California. They brought us some goodies from where we both grew up. AJ helped me diagnose a problem with my saw and then we worked together to modify the chain to remedy it. I'm able to do plunge cuts a lot easier now. I may still have to modify the chain a bit more, but for now I am happy with the way it seems to be cutting. We'll hopefully see them once more before they catch a plane back to Minnesota for the Summer.

I finished carving the signs and got all of the bears burned and details added. There's one bear that I decided to not finish the base of and it turned out to be one of my favorites. I'll have to try doing that more often and see if I get the same results.

Tomorrow we're planning to hit the road again and head toward the coast. We're not sure exactly where we want to stay or if we'll head North or South once we get there, but we're due for a move and need to go exploring in another area for a potential spot to settle. Cave Junction is a possibility, but we're still in the exploring phase and don't want to pick any favorites until we feel we've got enough to choose from to be relatively satisfied with our final choice.
